Camponotus ligniperda ants require a balanced diet of both proteins and carbohydrates. Camponotus ligniperda stand as one of Europe's largest ant species. The workers measure 7-15 mm in length, and queens grow up to 18 mm.
The UK's ecosystems are home to more than 60 different ant species. While that number might impress you, it's actually lower than what you'd find in other European countries.
